A direct experience

of the real world is not possible. I can only know what my sense organs tell me. This will then be filtered through my own ideas. This world, which only I can see,  is thus my own creation.

My own interpretation of what I see will trigger my feelings, my reactions and my actions.

Wanting but not getting,

having but fear to lose,

grieving for what I have lost

is, according to Buddhism, the circle of suffering which mankind inflicts on itself.

Try to see a greater world

and learn that everything is connected and that you are part of all this!
